Webroot Firewall is nice, especially if you need to use something for free. However, for the money I would stay with ZAAS. Other than the hesitation some experience at the Welcome Screen after reboot, it runs very well. Also the Triple Firewall Protection it offers is pretty darn good, and the ease of use it also offers, in my opinion isn't rivaled by any firewall you mentioned.

It crashed when I tried it. Leak performance should be similar to Private Firewall, also tested by Matuousec. However, the HIPS functions are off by default. This would reduce the score under Matousec's method.

Well if you know me Dieselman, although I do sincerely try to stick with some of the security software combo's I like, I usually end up with some other combo. LOL. Comodo is my choice of the all the ones mentioned in this thread, but right now I'm back to Windows XP Firewall and using Avast Home with Spy Sweeper and ThreatFire. I have at least been sticking with Avast though, and may go back to only using Comodo Pro with it in the future. I will say however, that it's definitely a very close call for me between using Comodo and ZAAS. Take care.

Running Vista but not 64. It is the only app I have ever had do that, live and learn I guess.

Hope this will help-looks like there is a problem with previous versions of Private Firewall and any Vista which would probably include Webroot,which is Private Firewall version 5,5,not 6 as the current original

I really like Vista and this is the only thing that hasn't worked as it should. I have played around with quite a few different FW and AV's on here with no problems at all. But Webroot FW just couldn't get it up it seems.

The current Private Firewall is,but Webroot is a clone of a previous special version.

Certainly wouldnt uninstall Vista for the sake of it

Vista is here to stay on my computer. No piece of software will change that. Actually I have only found one program I used on XP Pro that won't work on Vista and that is Diskeeper lite defragger. But it doesn't matter since I have found a much better one anyway

Seems like something on your PC doesn't like that firewall.
Got it installed on my Vista Home Premium and it did run without problems. Installation went smooth.
There are other firewalls to try out which may not give the same trouble, so it's not a big loss.

Webroot runs on Vista operating systems, but the DSA component doesn't appear to work as well as v1.x ( I haven't tried it in XP.) DSA v2 struggles with AWFT but v1.x running without a driver in Vista blocks it easily.

There is a lot of stuff out there that claims to run on Vista but does not run right. In one case the developer had UAC turned off and his program caused major problems when UAC was on. He said it was too much trouble to test it with UAC on because changing required rebooting, and that he did not want to develop with UAC on because it might cause "unexpected results".

Check the support forums for the product, probably someone else has the same problem.
